Poetry. In this collection of poetry, Monty Reid re-creates a year in the life and loss of a marriage. THE LUSKVILLE REDUCTIONS is a long breath of a poem reminding us of the uncanniness of change, those difficult times when awareness is at its height, when savour is really savouring, and when place, in this case a small Quebec town, takes on a personality of its own. These are love poems of extraordinary attention and longing, written in a voice so spare and clear that it's as if the air itself was singing. Monty Reid is the author of thirteen other books including Disappointment Island, which was shortlisted for the Ottawa Book Award and won the 2007 Lampman-Scott Award. Born in Saskatchewan and a longtime resident of Alberta, Reid now lives in Ottawa and works at the Canadian Museum of Nature.

About the Author:

Disappointment Island (2006) won the Lampman-Scott Award and was shortlisted for the Ottawa Book Award in 2007. Reid has also won three Stephan G. Stephansson Awards for Poetry (Alberta Literary Awards) and been nominated three times for the Governor-General's Award. The Luskville Reductions is his 14th book.
Review:
"Marry the passionate grief of By Grand Central Station I Sat Down and Wept with the pared-down utterances of Beckett's lost men and you might arrive at The Luskville Reductions. While it evokes the dark cry of the lover in 'O Western Wind, ' this long poem is entirely contemporary in its ontological alertness, its wry ironies. At once threnody and enactment of loss, it brings something utterly new into the corpus of Canadian poetry. It is a brilliantly achieved poem." -- Mary Dalton
